Temporary Women Shelter

ICNA Relief USA offers an alternative for homeless women in need of temporary housing. ICNA Relief maintains the dignity of residents while affording them the opportunity to heal and develop themselves within a nurturing environment. Women are provided with one on one support while they transition to permanent stable housing. Trained case managers work with residents in identifying areas of growth, linking them to appropriate community resources such as: public benefits, legal and immigration support, mental health services and healthcare. Many of the women who come to ICNA Relief for supportive housing have experienced emotional abuse as well as neglect and are underemployed or unable to obtain affordable housing. ICNA Relief offers them a hand up while they work towards obtaining a goal of self sufficiency. While residing at ICNA Relief, women are encouraged to take part in educational classes including; English language skills, job training and/or higher education. Residents welcome this time to develop the skills needed to obtain a higher level of employment.
